Pros

decent salary, standard perks, many projects to choose from

Cons

a lot of bureaucracy, a myriad of restrictions, people brainlessly following irrelevant rules, you'll be pushed to offer certain solutions just because they are expensive over time with no regard to solution viability, a lot of intra-company spam mail to distract you daily, a lot of it marked high priority, pointless trainings you are obligated to attend, etc.

Pros

A really nice office with perks and company culture that come from Accenture.

Cons

There is a prioritization with getting certifications and doing a lot of tasks outside of full time client work, just to get promoted. If you are in the bench and it’s a slow season, there is a high risk of getting laid off. You will lose your sense of purpose all for the trendy AI culture. The company thrives on buzz terms and marketing solutions rather than actually solving anything.
